This is said to be from either from the Pilbara Mine site in Australia or somewhere in Arizona.

Comment: It took a total of 5 hours for the snake to finish off the goanna.
As you can see, they put some signage up so it couldn't be run over.
Chardonnay with that....?

Comment: I must say I don't believe it (in a lot of the pictures, the snake
looks more like a sock).

Comment: I am pretty sure that goannas are not native to Arizona, and the
snake does not look familiar, so unless someone's pet snake got loose, ate
someone else's pet goanna which also got loose (pretty big coincidence),
I'm going with this is an Australian snake, but I can't find which one. Please
can you help?

5 hours of struggle? Not a chance. Neither pythons nor monitor lizards have that kind of stamina.

Consuming, not struggling.

The staff at Cloud break pegged the site to protect the snake for the five hours it took to consume his lunch.

ETA: I think rihannalexis pegged the photo origins.
So far as I can tell it looks like some chap in the UK posted in Oct 2009 this took place in Arizona. The animals are being misidentified as well as the location.

He received the photos and misinformation via email. Then it gets repeated (and apparently, debunked) by this Bruce fella (location unknown) in Nove 2009, here.

If you look at the shadows of the marker poles, especially compared with the side of the road (and taking into account that the last photo is taken at a reverse angle); then it took less than an hour for the snake to swallow the reptile; certainly nowhere near five hours.

On a recent visit to the Carbanup Reptile Park In Western Australia I had the opportunity to photograph a Black-Headed python. As the park only has reptiles native to Western Australia I think it's safe to say this photo is from the Pilbara. (as already established, I actually wanted to d/load the photo I took but it seems you can't do that here. Never mind.)
